toontownman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Guess it depends if Whitecaps pick him up on the cheap. That will depend on Egbo, Bair and the new draftee. Even on the cheap its probably far more than a CPL contract. I think him being in camp is a sign they will pick him up if their is roster room. I think Ricketts would deliver though in the CPL, wouldn't be too worried about him being REB#2. He is twice the player and still in good shape. He would be a fantastic addition to any team in the league. Replacing Campbell at Pacific might be an option too. Talking of REB, I was gutted that didn't work out but not as gutted as Boakai going the same way. Ivan and Pottsy3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of REB, I was gutted that didn't work out but not as gutted as Boakai going the same way. Tbf, Edwini-Bonsu was not even 30 when he signed for FCE and came in from a team who at the time were playing in the 6th tier of German football. Ricketts has been playing at a higher level and is like 6 years older than REB was. Unlike say a DeJong, Ricketts doesn't seem injury prone, and could probably cut it at the CanPL level for a few seasons. Dude seems more in the Occean frame when it cones to his natural fitness. Although, if Ricketts isn't signed by VWFC for the season ahead, he could probably make more cash doing a season in a top Scandanavian or a Baltic league before signing in the CanPl. Depends if he would rather be near home or not. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Ricketts just got his degree/diploma in Sports Management and has been planning his post playing career for the last little while.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Might be a possibility for CanPL. If you want to turn PR status into citizenship as quickly as possible, it is better to stay in the country.

He would be a good fit in HFX, and would have a blast playing in front of the kitchen. His salary last year was 100k, so I imagine he’ll be feeling out his options first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be some backroom salary bump ups with the continental competitions too. Halifax might have too much tied up in Morelli and Daniels; maybe Schaale and JGL too.

Would love to see him back sometime, not the greatest player but always enjoyed watching him play. He got his permanent residency so must feel some connection to Canada. jordan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM3/MM2/MM Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 With MLS opening next weekend, teams will have to be roster compliant before their first game, hopefully will see some CPL loan announcements this week. Both Montreal and Vancouver are over the roster limit of 30. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific had announced that he was coming on loan for the 2022 season only to bail on bringing him in. My question would be is how interchangeable is the top Canadian CPL talent with the end of the bench types in MLS? The same could be when another of talent moves between CPL and one of the D3 leagues like L1O. MM3/MM2/MM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
